Maximum line width
We have introduced a maximum line width to articles. Research has shown that limiting the width of long-form text leads to a more comfortable reading experience, and better retention of the content itself.


 * Our studies with readers showed that readability was an issue with the current interface, in particular being able to focus on the content
 * Pages that are not in a long-text format (such as diffs, special pages, page history) will be presented at full-width as before
 * Logged-in users who wish to read articles at full width are welcomed to set up a script or gadget that will allow for this, such as this one
 * For more details on research and motivation, see ourresearch section

An update after two weeks of discussion
4. What changes will be made before deployment?


 * 3. Issues that will not be addressed at this time (issues that are not part of the Desktop Improvements project, belonging to other teams, etc.)
 * A preference which allows the fixed width of the page to be turned off.
 * A local gadget (currently experimental) or personal userscripts may address this at an individual editor level. — xaosflux  Talk 10:10, 28 July 2022 (UTC)

 * The gadget is only listed at Special:Preferences if your skin is Vector 2022. Here is a comparison of Wikipedia in Vector 2022 [ without the gadget] (assuming you haven't enabled the gadget) and [ with the gadget]. PrimeHunter (talk) 23:56, 21 August 2022 (UTC)
